Sacred Gold / V 2.2.5

[Shaitan]

lo everyone,

the above mentioned game has been out only a few days, same with the patch. I know about the rules and i aint asking about a no cd. Just wondering about the following thing: I can start and run the game using the latest no cd.

However, once the "real" game begins, the screen turns black (slowly, its fading). And while i can still hear my character moving around (if i click around), i cant see a thing. Is this some sort of copy protection, like the one used for XIII, for example ? Or is it because i have alc 120% (even though i installed it a certain way, renaming the vital drivers so certain copy-protection-tools cant find it) ?

thanks a bunch
